Randy: thanks for looking this up! My problem is: I am not metrically challenged, but 'imperially'... With my college mathematics background I was convinced I should be able to reverse the formula used, but it proved a bit too much work in the first try (especially the 'rounding' rules). Can anybody (or has anyboady already) invert(ed) it for me? Thanks!
